I. State of E-Commerce and Digital Marketing in the Philippines
(Speaker: Jack Madrid, Country Manager, Multiply.com Philippines)

A presentation on how e-commerce and digital marketing is growing in the Philippines.

Dr. Fontanilla will impart an e-commerce measurement framework that encourages industry players and Internet citizens to contribute and further develop. Remember that DigitalFilipino supports this and would like this to become the reality of the industry.

The presentation aims to provide an accurate projection of the country’s ecommerce growth.

Why is this important? One of the industry’s main obstacles is the absence of concise information that will allow industry players to accurately plot the sector’s growth and development. The idea of sales being generated by traditional businesses such as hotels and restaurants should be considered when plotting reports in the ecommerce’s growth for the country is also debatable.
III. Data Privacy and E-Commerce: What every Merchant Needs to Know
Speaker: Atty. JJ Disini, Professor, UP College of Law

The speaker, Mannix Pabalan is a digital strategist who will share will share “challenger” approaches that can get an online or offline business be noticed. He also started Hashtag Digital Inc. switching from the dotcom start-up world to running his own digital agency business.

Communicating your message across to your target demographic becomes more challenging than ever with the increasing number of IM initiatives from e-commerce sites and traditional brands that are campaigning online. Mannix, shall give practical pointers on what e-commerce marketing techniques can work this 2013 with his experience in helping dotcoms in their early days such as AyosDito and Lazada.

An increasing number of the country’s population have now taken refuge in working from home by taking projects from various clients – both locally and around the globe. Chris Ducker, will share his experience and insight in this matter while also providing practical tips on how Filipinos can compete more effectively in getting job online.

The speaker has been in the Online Jobs Industry for many years now, helping multiple clients with their goals to find people that can meet their needs while giving numerous virtual jobs to Filipinos.

Janette Toral, an e-commerce and social media specialist and the site owner of DigitalFilipino.com will share information on the players influencing the developments in this space while also discussing global e-commerce developments where participants can take inspiration and insights from. We need new business models if we want the e-commerce industry to move forward in the country. And industry players are expected to take 2013 aggressively determined for market domination.

One thing to keep in mind throughout the summit is to expect the possibility of the speakers and topics to change as it moves to various locations to keep the conference spontaneous and progressive.
